"Ms Al-Shennag has made clear to the prosecution that she's willing to plead guilty to the original charges of dangerous driving causing death, which are very serious charges," he said.

"However, we don't think it's appropriate she plead guilty to the more serious charges of manslaughter in the circumstances of this case, particularly bearing in mind that, on all accounts, it was a tragic accident."

Ms Al-Shennag showed little emotion in court as Magistrate Alison Viney ordered her to stand trial in the Parramatta District Court.

The trial will take place either late this year or early next year.

Family forgives

At the funeral for one of the boys killed in the crash undertaker Ahmad Hraichie posted a live video to Facebook as he was driving a hearse with his father and the coffin.

The pair broadcast a message of support for Ms Al-Shennag, saying threats to the woman were not from the family and she had been forgiven.

Ms Al-Shennag's lawyer Nick Hanna later said his client heard the message and was grateful for the compassion.
